How to unlock romances?

1. In Baldur's Gate 3 most of the romance options are limited to party members, but this is not a rule. There may be romance options with NPCs that aren't a part of your team.
2. Romances with party members are a result of meticulous building of positive relations. For the purpose of aligning with a particular party member, choose dialogue options that reflect their worldview.
3. The game dynamically displays information whether the given companion agrees with your opinion or expresses disapproval. You can't please everyone and a choice that is approved by companion A may cause discontent with companion B. Make sure to travel with characters of the same worldview or agree only with those that you want to romance. You can also deliberately avoid problematic situations and arguments between party members so you don't have to choose sides.
4. On the card of the given companion you can view their current approval. For a romance to occur, most of all, you must have a positive relationship with the character.

1. One of the functions of the camp is deepening the relationships with companions - you have all current allies in one place. An exclamation mark over a companion can indicate a new important conversation.
2. Companions have their own personal quests and undertaking them is always an important step towards unlocking a potential romance. During such tasks, choose dialogue options that score points with the given companion.
3. After developing a strong positive relationship with the companion, options related to romance should be unlocked. Ultimately, these options can lead to an intimate scene with the given character.
